Everyone's eyes were forced to pop out of their sockets as soon as they saw the Spiritual Qi energy stone in the box that Wang-Lin-Chan had just opened. It was a fist-sized Spiritual Qi energy stone that they were witnessing…

"Oh my God! That's indeed a Spiritual Qi energy stone! It's so huge. That's as big as my fist. Am I dreaming? Or maybe I was already dead!?"

"This is the first time in my life that I get to see the real Spiritual Qi energy stone. If I died today, I could die in peace!"

"What do I do to have it!? But there's no way I would. I'd never get to have it no matter how much I cry for it. Mother! Father! Please get me that stone!"

The minds of everyone in the auction room were completely drawn to the Spiritual Qi energy stone on the stage. They all wanted to seize the stone, especially the Elders from the influential clans and sects, including the ones from the Bright-Sky Medicine Sect…

"Ahem!"

"It's time to let the interested bidders make the offers for this Spiritual Qi energy stone. What you see in front of you is the spiritual energy stone of the wind element, which is, of course, right for those who have the spirit of the wind as their hidden power. And I believe that I don't need to tell you the other benefits that you would get from this stone.

So, the starting price for this stone is at…"

"Ten million monster crystal coins!"

"Ten million monster crystal coins!?"

"That is one steep starting price, guys!"

"Tell me about it! Ten million monster crystal coins as a starting price!? Imagine how much it would be after the bid is over."

The people, who were unable to bid for the Spiritual Qi energy stone due to their lack of wealth, started to discuss the high starting price of the stone at ten million monster crystal coins. That was because it was the highest starting price that had ever been named. So, it was inevitable that they had to imagine the price after the bid was done. They believed that it must be extremely high.

And that forced them to turn to look at the other three wooden boxes that held the rest of the Spiritual Qi energy stones. They all got goosebumps when their minds rested on the accumulated sum of money that those stones would rake…

The audience believed that the other three boxes would hold the stones equally as marvelous as the first. And they speculated that each of the three must be a different spiritual element…

"Fifteen million monster crystal coins!"

The first bid was made amid the discussion of the high level of the starting price. It was from a man on the first floor. No one knew who he was because he had a mask on…

"Seventeen million monster crystal coins!"

Before anyone in the room got to start raising questions about the first bidder, the second bidder cut in to make a higher offer. And that person was the Third Prince, who was sitting not very far away from the first bidder…

"So, no one's playing about now with those kinds of high offerings. I guess I'll have to step up my game too. Bright-Sky Medicine Sect would like to bid for the stone at twenty million monster crystal coins!" Wan-Nan-Qing jumped in to offer a higher bid for the stone when she saw that the first and second bidders started out with very high prices.

She was well aware that twenty million monster crystal coins were not even high enough for the whole stone…

"Well, if we all have to give it all for that Spiritual Qi energy stone, then that's what we'll do! You guys know the real high value of the stone and its price well. So, let's quit playing with that kind of mediocre bidding style. Raging Sword Sect would like to offer fifty million monster crystal coins for that stone!" said an elderly man, who was in his sixties, in the Raging Sword Sect VIP room…

"That's Master Pac-Du-Gu. It's unbelievable that he's here to bid for the Spiritual Qi energy stone himself!" Right after Pac-Du-Gu made a bid, another voice of an elderly man occurred from the VIP room of the Office of the Royal Guardians. The man was about Pac-Du-Gu's age…

"Tsk! Zhang-Jing-Jing! You're here too!? Great! I'll show you how to win that stone!" Pac-Du-Gu said with an upsetting tone of voice when he spotted Zhang-Jing-Jing in the auction house. He and Zhang-Jing-Jing liked to get on each other's nerves regularly since they were young…

"Is that so? Well, let's see if I'm going to defeat you today. But you're probably going to lose like usual. Hahaha!" Zhang-Jing-Jing laughed out of satisfaction, just like every time he could topple Pac-Du-Gu in the conversation. Then he said, "The Office of the Royal Guardians would like to offer a hundred million monster crystal coins!"

"Aren't you two going to let others play? I want to play too because it looks so fun!" All of a sudden, a tiny, raspy voice of an old woman was blurted out from the VIP room of the Bright-Sky Medicine Sect…

"What!?"

"Old Gim-Mei!?"

Pac-Du-Gu and Zhang-Jing-Jing crinkled their eyebrows as soon as they heard the old woman talk to them. That was because they had just realized that the old woman was Old Gim-Mei, the Second Elder of the Bright-Sky Medicine Sect. Both of them were close to her, especially when they were in their younger years. They also viewed her as one of the most competitive players in the group…

"Bright-Sky Medicine Sect would like to offer one hundred fifty million monster crystal coins for that Spiritual Qi energy stone!" Old Gim-Mei raised the bidding tag to make a higher offer. She did not forget to give a mocking smile to Pac-Du-Gu and Zhang-Jing-Jing with satisfaction…

"Darn it! How in the world did she get to attend today's auction? Sigh! I thought that I'd never see you again ever, Old Gim-Mei. I thought you were dead. But I guess that's not the case because you're hard to die.

Anyway, you won't be long for that, I suppose," Zhang-Jing-Jing said and shrugged while shaking his head, intentionally acting as if he would be sorry if Old Gim-Mei really died. However, everyone who watched them knew well how Zhang-Jing-Jing really felt towards the Old Gim-Mei…

"You!"
